Jeremy Mayfield, Mayfield Motorsports

Suspended Mayfield Motorsports driver Jeremy Mayfield is intent on returning to NASCAR and is ready to do "whatever it takes" to get back to driving, including drug rehabilitation. He's hoping to reach a plea bargain in his case that doesn't include jail time on 19 felony charges. His first step on returning will be to enter NASCAR's Road to Recovery program.

Mayfield Motorsports driver Jeremy Mayfield said he is interested in returning to racing. He's been suspended since he failed a drug test in 2009 for methamphetamines. "Well, Jeremy, you know the path back for you," NASCAR chairman Brian France said. "It's the path back for anybody. I've always hoped that you would choose the right path and not litigation and a bunch of other things. But that's up to you."
